Backpack

At Backpack, we are dedicated to making the built world part of the climate solution. Our goal is simple - to create the first system of record for commercial building data. We integrate with existing cloud-based data, use wireless-enabled hardware to connect to on-site operational technology, and walk through the front door of every building on our platform to catalogue detailed physical building information. Our comprehensive approach ensures confidence in the accuracy of every piece of data on Backpack’s software platform, providing peace of mind to everyone who accesses the data, from building operations teams to lenders, insurers, and regulators. By organizing verified building data in one simple platform and making it easily accessible to anyone who needs it, Backpack unlocks the innovations that power the buildings of the future.
